I had a good time from both perspectives academic and socializing. The university atmosphere was amazing. The professors were friendly and always ready to help. Moreover, in terms of socializing I have met friends from all over the world. We were having activities every weekend as Washington, DC has lots of attractive places to visit. We have visited lots of places in DC such as the White House, the Capital Building, the monuments, and much more places. In addition to that I have visited places outside Washington, DC. I have visited Pennsylvania state and New York state. All in all, my experience was amazing, and I would love t do it again and advise each student to try it .” Salman on the right with his friends. “I do not know where to start. The US thus far has been a once in a lifetime opportunity. It’s truly amazing to see how many people are willing to meet and know one another. No kidding, with all the friends I have made, together we have travelled to New York, Philadelphia and around Washington, DC. Who says it takes more than a semester to get settled in? Don’t be afraid; take this great opportunity today.” Omar in the middle with his friends . 7 KXCFKLPSRTW SCIENCES PO.

Study Abroad Experience Razan’s Experience at GWU “I studied abroad at the George Washington University during the Spring 2010 semester and had the most wonderful time there! I met so many people from all over the world- the student body was very diverse. The weather was COLD, but it was a nice change from the weather we are used to here in the UAE, and I got to play in the snow! Living in DC was much more different than living in Dubai. Nobody drives there- everyone walks and takes the metro, especially if they are students at GW and living on campus. The actual campus is different as well. There isn’t one distinct campus- it’s a bunch of buildings all over DC that belong to George Washington University. It’s such a nice atmosphere I am sure anyone who wants to go study abroad at George Washington University will absolutely love it! Georgetown is also very close to the George Washington University campus and it has the best stores and restaurants in DC- you’ll find anything you want in Georgetown (it’s somewhat similar to the Walk in JBR, but much bigger with shops such as Zara, Urban Outfitters, etc.). While I was abroad, I also made a visit to Orlando, Florida and visited Disney World. There are many other states you can travel to that are close to DC such as New York, which is only four hours away by car. Overall, I had a wonderful time and I would encourage everyone who wants to study abroad to do it at George Washington!” Razan Majdalawieh Apply now online! http://aus.studioabroad.com Apply now online! http://aus.studioabroad.com 10 KXCFKLPSRTW SCIENCES PO.

Basim Ahmed is an AUS student who studied abroad at James Madison University during Fall 2009 semester. “I left with the intention of having a good experience and learning more about other cultures. I came back with all this and more. I became more open minded and helpful through this study abroad experience. The environment was great and the people were friendly and welcoming. James Madison University is a huge campus with a large and active student body. The school spirit could be seen through the range of activities offered to the students from parties to dinners to movie nights. The International Students Association held weeklong orientation for exchange and new students filled with fun events and icebreakers. Also, I really liked the courses I was taking as they were diverse and interesting.

Adjusting to the environment in the US was easy because of the student activities we had during the orientation and the welcoming students. There were a lot of student organizations that you could join with a variety of events offered. The educational system makes you more independent as you have to learn to do everything by yourself and complete the assigned tasks on time. I suggest everyone should go study abroad for a semester as you learn a lot and become more open to other cultures.” FGSVTKR A M E R I C A N U N I V E R S I T Y O F WA S H I N G TO N KXCFKLPSRTW SCIENCES PO.

Scholarships opportunities: AUS and MBS in Germany signed a student exchange agreement which allows up to 3 students to study one semester at the respective universities. The scholarship amount will be €600 per student per semester. A student who is nominated for a full academic year is eligible to receive two scholarships (one for each semester). The scholarship is open to bachelor and master students studying at AUS. The objective is to encourage the exchange of students and financially assist them. Students apply as exchange students via the Office of International Exchange Programs. Application deadline for Spring 2014 is August 1, 2013. Students sponsored by an organization outside of AUS are responsible for making arrangements with their sponsor. Housing/Accommodation: All accepted exchange students are advised to search for their accommodation and make arrangements for their stay in Munich. If the student cannot find a place, then they should arrange to stay in a youth hostel or inexpensive hostel for the first few weeks till a place is found. Websites of Great Rentals and Toytown Germany contain useful links for rentals/housing. Most rental website would have rentals in German. The rentals may be charged either by the owners or by rental agents who charge 2 months’ rent plus VAT tax for their referral services. RENTAL AGREEMENT, DEPOSIT & PRICES: Most rental agreements would be written and contain rental terms such as rental dates and termination policy. Security deposits for up to two months are required by landlord; they will be returned after the contract ends. Rentals would be paid at the end of each month. Look for housing in Munich City, Munich West and Munich South. Rental prices in Munich are high therefore most students share apartments. Rents vary from location, size and type. Average cost would be €500 for single room. Be aware of fraudulent rental links! http://www.munich-business-school.de/en/programs/ information-for-internationals/housing-and-cost-of-living. html 19 KXCFKLPSRTW SCIENCES PO.

The buildings are located in the vicinity of the Faculties and are easily accessible by bike or on foot. Unfortunately SBE cannot guarantee that all students who apply for a room at the Guesthouse actually get a room. Applications are processed on a first-come-first-served basis, and we have no influence on that process. Reserving a room at the UM Guesthouse is possible via the on-line reservation system at www.Maastrichthousing.com. How to find housing on your own? Of course exchange students are not obliged to get a room in the UM Guesthouse, even though it is the easiest option. Students can also find a room on the private market. Check the following websites for alternatives: www.HousingAnywhere.com: local, outgoing students sublet their room for a short period of time to incoming students. www.Maastrichthousing.com: acts as intermediary for the local housing corporations in the so-called “social” rent sector, and is also the portal for the UM Guesthouse. Financial Grant: AUS students on grants/scholarships must obtain approval from the Office of Financial Grants and Scholarships before starting a semester abroad at a host university. Health Insurance: All exchange students must have valid health insurance coverage during their stay abroad. They can either purchase on their own or from a health care provider in Netherlands. Visa: Nationals of the following countries do not need a visa to study in The Netherlands: Members of the EU, EEA, Switzerland, Australia, Canada, Japan, Monaco, New Zealand, South Korea, United States of America, Vatican City State.

Health Insurance: -AON UVic International Students Medical Insurance Program (PRIVATE): http://extranet.aon.ca/uvic/ - British Columbia Medical Services Plan (PUBLIC): http:// www.health.gov.bc.ca/msp/infoben/index.html Medical coverage is compulsory for any international students in Canada. What type of medical insurance is required? It depends on your length of stay. Please read the following section carefully. If you are staying for ONE term (4 months), it is recommended that you purchase private health insurance in your own counrtry. The coverage should be equivalent to the one offered by the British Columbia Medical Services Plan (refer to the BC MSP website). If you are unable to find any insurance plan equivalent to the BC MSP, AON, UVic’s designated private insurance company, offers a special insurance plan for shortterm international students. Please apply BEFORE your arrival in Canada. If you are staying for TWO terms, you may choose to apply for the BC MSP, which will cost approximately $60 per month. The MSP application must be submitted UPON your arrival in Canada and your coverage will begin 3 months after your appication is submitted. It is important to purchase a private insurance plan for the 3 month waiting period. Also you can choose to stay in a private insurance plan for the entire stay. Either way, it is important to make sure that you are covered by a medical insurance plan from the moment you enter Canada until the day you leave for home. Visa: Study Permit REQUIRED: if you will be staying for two terms and/or will participate in the Business Co-op program. RECOMMENDED: for any students for greater flexibility. Entry Visa (Temporary Resident Visa) Students from certain countries are required to obtain this visa IN ADDITION to a study permit. Please make sure to apply for “multi-entry” visa instead of “single-entry”. This allows you to leave and enter Canada many times during your stay. Check with the Canadian Embassy to enquire if you need a visa to study in Canada. If so, to apply, you will need to have the following: • the admission letter sent to you by the University of Victoria • proof of funds • a return ticket • a valid passport Please visit: http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/ uae-eau/offices-bureaux/embassy-ambassade. aspx?lang=eng&view=d for complete information on Visa application process.
